Overview

At one time it was inhabited by priests and then by a community of sisters. Today it is managed by the religious association Cor Christi, formed by consecrated lays.

It features 54 rooms with 1 to 4 beds; some with private bath.


History

According to tradition, between 1673-1675 Jesus’ heart appeared in the chapel to Marguerite Marie Alacoque. The chapel soon became a popular pilgrimage site. Pope Pious IX eventually began the festivity of the Sacred Heart. During the past twenty years, the town has seen an increase in its popularity thanks to the visit of Pope John Paul II (1986). He stayed in the Foyer Sacré-Cœur in room number 4.
